Hi. Assalamualaikum. Yes, nak kerja memang such a real struggle.
Aku habis degree officially last year, July. Alhamdulillah, on June aku dapat kerja. Sales. Kerja yang paling senang nak dapat. Basic aku rendah sangat lagi rendah dari student Diploma.
Less than 2 months aku kerja housemate aku offer nak tolong apply kat company dia. Company dia memang a well established company. Aku tak pernah minta dia tolong pon dia yang nak tolong aku. Well, dia tahu how much I earned and she feels sorry aku buat dua kerja sbb nak survive.
Long short story, Alhamdulillah aku dapat masuk company dia and masa tu yes for the first time ever dpat rasa gaji selayaknya for a bachelor holder. Walaupon jauh dari bidang for at least I’m grateful enough to earn a better salary.
Tapi aku kat company tu pon less than a year. Aku decided taknak sambung contract. Sebab aku start to realise that aku tak jumpa career satisfaction aku. Kerja ni bukan passion aku.
So, I took a risk, left the job and buat home tutor. Applied guru ganti. Sebab aku rasa yes, tu jiwa aku. I know being a teacher is not easy. Mak aku cikgu so I know how struggle jadi cikgu, today.
Tapi ever since aku actively join as fasilitator, home tutor aku memang lagi yakin untuk pursue teacher as career aku.
Then, yes, alhamdulillah, aku dapat jadi guru ganti and right after aku habis jadi guru ganti aku akan mendaftar sebagai guru kat satu sekolah swasta Ni.
I took me a year to finally meet the career that suits me well.
Enough with my story.
Actually aku tergerak tulis kat sini sebab I just received a call from kawan aku. Dulu dia study education. Alhamdulillah after long waiting dia finally dapat call interview SPP. Next week. Doakan okay!
I’ve huge respect for her. Sementara tak dapat posting ni, dia okay je kerja kat kedai koperasi sekolah menengah dia dlu. How it feels meet your juniors, your teachers dalam keadaan kau ada bachelor tapi tak dapat kerja lagi and it was almost a year.
Honestly aku tak kuat. Buat she’s not. She’s very positive and strong! And sebelum tu pon dia banyak buat guru ganti. Sabtu ahad buat tuisyen.
Aku ada terbaca, orang share2 macam mana struggle nak cari kerja tu ramai yang buat part time tu ini. Last2 end up berniaga nasi campor online.. aku rasa sangat terinspirasi and emosi baca semua tu.
Sebab I’ve been there. Aku pernah kerja kat gudang, kerja catering, balik 2 pagi. Part time sini sana mana ada ruang peluang aku masuk. And bila dah jadi cikgu ni pon aku still buat part time. Hehe dah terbiasa and rasa seronok.
Apa yang aku nak advise kat sini, jangan berhenti cari usaha cari kerja. Buat je apa pon yang penting halal. Takpe kalau rezeki first salary tu kecil. Yang penting experience! Good reputation! And buat Baik dengan semua orang. Kita tak tahu siapa jadi pengantara rezeki kita..
So, sharelah pengalaman and struggle cari kerja you all dekat bawah ni. Sis nak baca.
Thank you…
